[08-02-14 13:32]: The subject line tells it. I would like to backup android 2.3.4 (Samsung Galaxy Mini), especially contacts history (incoming, outgoing calls history, SMS messages) to my computer directly, without using a google account, using linux (openSUSE 12.3). File transfer method could be USB cable or local WIFI, or, less preferred, bluetooth.
The question does not apply to files stored in the SD card, like photos.
Is this possible?
yes, kdeconnect (don't know about 12.3) android pgm WiFi File Transfer android pgm AirDroid android pgm ConnectBot android pgm ES File Explorer ownCloud and probably many more but some effort will be required to search.
As I see AirDroid and ConnectBot cannot be used for saving/backing up call history and messages. I haven't try the others as I found a solution in the meantine, but I have a feeling that these programs can only work with SD card files. Please correct if I am wrong. Carlos E. R. írta:
I use an APP to backup SMS messages to file. It is called "SMS to Text", by SMeiTi, >currently version 1.9. It exports to plain text or to .csv file.
I will check this. I also found two applications which can save call history and messages to the SD card: "Call Logs Backup & Restore" and "SMS Backup & Restore".
And being a Samsung, you can backup most of the thing (from Windows) with Samsung >tools, no google involved. I don't know if it would run under Wine.
I am aware of it; if I remember well, it's called KIES. The only problem is I don't have a windows machine. Thank you once more, Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
